The bikers idle along the side of the road and then take off in twos and threes, popping wheelies, standing on their seats; the tricks are really third-rate motorcycle stunts, the kind you might see in a local 4th of July parade in the U.S. What is impressive is the speed at which the stunts are executed. Souped up and fitted with performance struts and tires, these...
